TIVO

Football doesn't suck. People with twisted priorities suck.

Nah, both suck.

I've got a ticket to Sunday's Pats game. My first ever. I'm way more interested in the tailgating but there's supposed to some sort of ridiculous winter weather event so probably the only thing I have to look forward to is freezing solid in the stands.

Give them all little personal TVs with headphones for Xmas this year so they won't annoy the rest of you with that crap.

I got one of those for $10 a few years ago. Should be cheaper now 'cause they won't even work after, what is it, February?

I've never been to a pro football game before, but I've always pictured it as being a lot of fun.

College football is much more fun.

Perhaps, but I could never give as much of a damn about a college team as most Americans seem to.

February 2009 is the cutoff

Broncos played on Thanksgiving a few years ago as well.  It wasn't at my place, it was at my aunts (also fb fan)  The TV was on LOUD so others could hear it over my cousin's cursing.  I will ask him not to curs in my house and hope he respects it.  I suppose if he didn't yell at the TV expecting them to hear him it may not be so bad.

It was pointed out to me that a good Christmas gift to my family would be to put up with it.  I say a good Christmas gift for me would be to turn it off.  It is, after all, my house.

I will attempt to keep the game off during dinner.  Who cares what happens the first half anyway?  I will also attempt to keep the sound down during presents.  But my grandpa can't see well, nor can he hear well, so for him, I may have a headset plugged into the radio so he can hear what is going on.

I will also point out that if we plug in the video game, the kids won't be running up and down the stairs (their mom and grandma hate that)

(nah never work)

If you use a cable service then you could use the excuse that your cable is out. Try connecting the input cable to the output port of the cable translator box and vice versa--if you have the usual confusion of cables behind your TV then this "problem" won't be immediately obvious and it won't harm the cable box.

I would disagree with the premise of this entire thread, but it's about the Broncos.  And they do suck.

The Broncos do suck, no argument there.  But football sucks in general. 



(cont'd rant) I am tired of seeing my cousin yelling at his son for gettin gin his way during a football game.  "not now, wait till after the game!"  "Take that in your room!"  "Get out of the way!"
Poor boy is going to grow up with a complex or something.  I know for a fact my uncle never acted that way so not sure why my cousin does it.  Kid thinks that the football game is more important than he is.  I have to agree with him.

I'm going to vote to either remove the TV from the house or cut the cable for a week.  Nothing good on right now anyway.
